In a bizarre turn of events, the official YouTube channels of Starship Entertainment’s artists, including Monsta X, IVE, and Cravity, were compromised and rebranded as SpaceX. The incident, marked by the unauthorized renaming of the channels and deletion of content, prompted the K-pop agency to issue a statement addressing the situation and initiating recovery efforts.
Starship Entertainment acknowledged the hacking of their artists’ channels and assured fans that they were actively collaborating with YouTube to resolve the issue and restore the channels to their original state. While the content has been erased, the company expressed commitment to swiftly recover all material and apologized for any inconvenience caused by the disruption.
Fans reacted with a mix of confusion and concern as they discovered the unauthorized changes to their favorite artists’ channels. While some speculated about the motives behind the hack, others expressed frustration over the loss of content, particularly during a time when Monsta X members are fulfilling military duties, leaving fans reliant on past videos to stay connected.
The situation also impacted IVE’s YouTube web reality show, “1,2,3 IVE,” as an episode scheduled for release was postponed due to the hacking incident. Fans eagerly awaiting the broadcast were left disappointed, with updates on the rescheduled release time expected to be announced later.
As Starship Entertainment works to regain control of the affected channels and address the fallout from the hack, fans remain hopeful for a swift resolution and the return of their favorite content. Meanwhile, the company continues to investigate the incident and collaborate with authorities to identify the perpetrators behind the unauthorized access.
